Ijaw youths in Warri, Delta state on Tuesday morning stormed the Egbema, Gbaramatu Communities Development Foundation, EGCDF, office to protest an alleged marginalisation by the Chevron Nigeria Limited, CNL-inspired community development agency.
According to reports gathered the Ijaw youths had in a notice, weeks ago, given both CNL and EGCDF 14 days to address their demands , which include inclusion of youths in the GMoU governance model and provision of employment, warning, “we will take our desired action if ignored.”
However security agents have been called to maintain peace and prevent the protesters from carrying out violent acts.
